The Uniqlo CQ invasion of U.S. malls, which began in Paramus, is continuing on schedule.

By the time the holiday shopping season kicks off on Black Friday, the Japanese clothing retailer will have more than doubled its U.S. store count, with 10 new stores, including two in New Jersey, scheduled to open in October and November.

Uniqlo announced this week that its second New Jersey store, at Bridgewater Commons Mall in Bridgewater, will open Oct. 4. The third N.J. store will open November 1 at Menlo Park Mall.

The Uniqlo invasion is also being digitized. The company has created a free Uniqlo USA app for iPhones that includes such features as lists of job opportunities, and photos of new fashions. Pretty standard stuff for a retailer app, except for one feature we have yet to check out – something described as “behind-the-scenes” videos users can access by pointing their phones at Uniqlo logos inside the stores. The app will be available for Android devices later this year.

Uniqlo, which has been described as “the Gap of Japan” has a goal of $10 billion in U.S. sales by 2020. Gap, Forever 21, H&M and other mall competitors: Consider yourself warned.
